Warface: Xbox 360 Edition Open Beta Commences This Week

The open beta for Warface: Xbox 360 Edition, Crytek's free-to-play FPS, is set to kick off this week, giving Xbox Live Gold subscribers the opportunity to take the game for a spin.

"We need veterans and new recruits to take the fight to Blackwood in the open beta, available later this week! Blackwood have regrouped, become stronger than ever," an email newsletter from Crytek announcing the open beta reads. "They spread like locusts. If you’ll stand with us, look out for an email later this week once the open beta is live."

Players who take part in the open beta will see all of their earned XP, currency and rewards being transferred into the final version of Warface: Xbox 360 Edition when it sees proper release on XBLA in spring 2014.
